charter : search and rescue

Australia has a world renowned search and rescue service that spans the nation and covers 52.8 million square kilometres of the Indian, Pacific and Southern Oceans.

The search and rescue service is provided by AusSAR, the national search and rescue organisation, which is part of the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA).

AusSAR operates a 24 hour Rescue Coordination Centre (RCC) in Canberra and contracts Aviation Tourism Australia to provide aviation search and rescue services throughout the Whitsundays and Greater Barrier Reef region.

Our highly experienced pilots are trained by AMSA on a continual basis to ensure that the latest techniques in search and rescue are utilised.
